AutoCAD 2022 - Compare command turns overlay purple

[ericVD22D]

I'm currently using ACAD 2022, previously I was using 2021, and a guy in my office uses 2020. When anyone in the office uses 2021 or newer we get this purple overlay when exporting the overlay. I don't have the option to go back to 2020 in my organization.

I should also add that it does not look like this before exporting it.

Forgive me, but I think there is something missing from your post(s): are you just finding COMPARE command acting differently?
Or just the object colors are different in COMPARE?
Or are you in "XREF COMPARE" command in 2022 (not available in 2020)?

And what does "exporting the overlay" mean for those of us that cannot see your screen or the commands you are using?

TIA

you can change the colors you want for "No Difference"

In the dwg compare menu go to the sprocket and see what colors you have set

I use the compare command, everything looks perfectly normal. The colors are separated into existing versus different in the drawings. When I export that comparison, the entire drawing turns to one color as you can see in the attached drawing. The comparison color scheme has completely changed and you cannot see what is different between the drawings.

You can only adjust the colors when you are creating the compared overlays. It changes colors once I have exported it and there is no option to adjust the colors at that point.

I have the same issue.  Feedback from Autodesk was that the issue was linked to a dimension object(s) in the drawing.  Unfortunately I have dimension objects in every block because of dynamic feature so I have not found a viable solution.

I like to see a sample (2x DWG), can you share one - is it possible?
